Guys' Weekend in Las Vegas!

Written
by Tiffany Milligan – A Vegas Local

Is
it time for a guys’ weekend Vegas style? Now, I know what you’re thinking…”WHY
would we listen to a GIRL when it comes to planning a GUYS getaway?” Well, here’s
your answer- “As a girl, I know what “us girls” THINK you’ll be doing in Vegas
therefore I know how to plan a weekend that will leave little for your
girlfriend/wife to question!” Yep, that’s right boys, you’re never as sly as
you think you are BUT if you plan enough activities on your guys’ weekend in Las Vegas, you can fill
in the “gaps” with whatever stripper fantasies and “harmless” flirting that you
want.

First
things first, hotel accommodations- stay on the Strip. I don’t care if you can
get a hotel cheaper and are “willing to walk” to the action. The fact is, you’re
going to be drunk…probably really, really drunk, and trying to find your hotel
when you’re done partying will be challenging at best. Yes, there are plenty of
taxis in this town but do you really want to drive in circles while they rack
up some miles on the journey back to your hotel? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Now that that’s settled, the Venetian is a great hotel, convenient to most
everything you’ll need for a guys’ weekend
in Vegas!

Remember,
planning LOTS of stuff to do is the key. Another area you, as men, fall short
in is making the plans believable. I once had a boyfriend that told me him and
his friends spent all day at the beach… yet upon his return he wasn't a shade
darker than when he left! Let’s avoid all of that bizniz.

A
round of golf at Royal Links Golf Club perhaps? If you don’t like golf, just
say your friends do when you’re talking to your better half ;) This course is picturesque
and designed by Perry Dye. You’ll get to sample eleven different British Open
courses at Royal Links AND it’s open year round for your Vegas guys’
weekend!

Gambling
should fill the bulk of your weekend? Right? Well, the gaps anyway. What’s the
saying? “Six and one half dozen of the other”…basically all gambling venues are
the same (for the most part) so picking where to park yourself and give away
your money shouldn't be too hard! Be adventurous and try a new game. Craps is
SOOO much fun and it’s not as complicated as it looks!

Legasse’s
Stadium at the Palazzo is the ultimate sports bar experience for a guy’s weekend in Las Vegas. If you want to
bet on Las Vegas’ teams this is the…oh wait, we don’t have any professional
teams here (weird, I know)! However, if you want to bet on any of the other
teams, this is the place to go! Complete with stadium seating and 100 HD
televisions, you won’t be disappointed…not to mention, with Emeril Lagasse
being the owner, the food is several steps above your run-of-the-mill bar food!

V
Bar at the Venetian is the perfect ultra lounge to spend an evening. Sleek and
seductive, this bar was voted the best bar on the Strip and is also a favorite
of celebrities. Happy hour is 5-8pm…plenty of time to get nice and liquored up
before the DJ starts and you’re drawn to the dance floor to bust out some of
moves you haven’t done since the 90’s…maybe 80’s? They have a contemporary
venue and if you’re staying at the Venetian you can easily stagger back to your
room when you’re done!
